i am an object with a wax heart.
your love ignites my soul.
you slowly waste my time and take years out of my life.
i slowly melt with you, but it feels great to be wanted.
you use me to light your way,
but you take a wrong turn and we continue to travel deeper into the cave.
you wrap your arms around me so tight and i keep you warm in return.
our love is not everlasting, because i am melting away.
you used me.
every piece of me you used.
the only thing you cared about was to get out of the cave,
and as soon as you got close to the exit you saw the sun.
the sun was much brighter then me.
so you blew me out and went running to her arms instead.
what's better someone who shows you the world instead of someone who shows you how to love?
you're right for leaving me, but now i'm so weak.
my wax heart has melted and i am weak.
burnt out and longing for your fake love.
i mark the days you are gone on the cave walls,
but then i stop counting,
because i realized who would want me?
